Expert Answers about Freightliner


  • How to Wire a Freightliner 7-Way to Match Utility Trailer 7-Way Functions
  • The best way to make your Freightliner compatible with a trailer 7-Way is to test the functions with a circuit tester # PTW2993 and match sure they match. I'm attaching pin-out diagrams of both the trailer and vehicle 7-Ways that you can use as a guide to make your connections - just be sure to wire everything up by function and not by the wire color. You will be able to gain access to the wiring connections through the back of either 7-Way, either by moving the sleeve out of the way or...

  • Trailer Hitch Needed for a 1997 Freightliner XC Series
  • I do have a solution for you, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15324 that you referenced is a custom fit that fits various Chevy, Cadillac, and GMC vehicles and is not meant to be modified for use on your 1997 Freightliner XC Series. If you are looking for a trailer hitch with a high weight capacity then the highest we have are the Curt adjustable trailer hitches part # C13701 and part # C13702. These will fit RVs that have a frame that is 18" - 51" wide and they feature a 5,000...

  • 20x10 Manual Awning For Race Car Trailer
  • I recommend using a Solera Destination Manual RV Awning kit Item # LCV000335274-334719. This is a 20' wide awning that comes with everything to get it installed. The canopy extends out 9.8'. Each arm is spring assisted to ease rolling out the canopy. The fabric is a 13.5-oz vinyl that won't crack or fade. The awning kit also comes with an aluminum canopy shield to protect the canopy when it is rolled up.

  • Trailer Hitch and 7-Way Wiring Harness for Freightliner M2
  • There are no specific fits for a 2013 Freightliner M2 for a hitch or wiring, so your best option is a weld-on hitch. If your frame is up to 44 inches you can use the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-16 for 16 inch tall brackets or Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07 for 7 inch tall brackets. Then for a 7-way you will need to hardwire in the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59236 with the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer...

  • Is There a Tow Hitch Available for a Freightliner M2?
  • Though we do not have a custom fit option for your two Freightliner trucks, I may still have something that will work. I will say that both of these will depend on how wide the frame is where these would attach. The more heavy duty option will be the Draw-Tite Super Titan 4000 Weld-On Trailer Hitch with 3" Receiver Opening # 38124. This will have a 25,000 pound maximum capacity and comes with a ball mount, but will only fit frames that are 34 to 34 1/2 inches wide. If your frame is either...

  • Coupler Lock and Secuirty for Bolt-On A-Frame Coupler
  • When using a bolt-on coupler such as the Demco # DM14793-52, trailer coupler locks such as the Master Lock # ML389DAT are added to prevent trailer theft. These locks are an inexpensive and large deterrent to those looking to steal a trailer. There is no absolute way to prevent theft of a coupler if somebody was determined enough, but it would be extraordinarily unusual for someone to go through the amount of time, trouble, and risk of unbolting a coupler for the purposes of taking the coupler...

  • Furrion Chill RV AC Unit to Replace Coleman Mach on RV
  • If you replaced your Coleman Mach 8 with the Furrion Chill Replacemenet RV AC unit part # FR42PV which comes with the adapters for connecting to Coleman # C-FACR15SA-A01 wiring and controls this would install easily and would work just fine with your dual thermostat system. Obviously it wouldn't have a heat pump like you mentioned though.

  • Can an Electric Trailer Brake Controller be Used when Flat Towing a Vehicle Behind a Motor Home
  • Brake controllers work on electric trailer brakes. Vehicles have hydraulic brakes so a regular trailer brake controller such as # 90195 would not work with a vehicle. There are special supplemental braking systems for vehicles being towed behind a motor home. I have included a link that covers different types of supplemental braking systems for you. In order to determine which ones will fit I would need to know the year, make, and model of the vehicle you intend to tow.

  • What Size Pipes is the Bully Slant Resonated Bolt-on Exhaust Tip Designed to Fit
  • As long as the exhaust pipe of your vehicle is between 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches in diameter the part # PM-5104 would fit. If anything it will make the tone of your exhaust slightly mellower or quieter. We had a guy with exhaust drone problems on his vehicle use these and it cleared up the drone he had.

  • Will the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75210 fit a 2006 Dodge Sprinter with a Factory Step Bumper
  • The Draw-Tite Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # 75210, is for a 2006 Dodge Sprinter with a 140 inch or 158 inch wheelbase and either single or dual rear wheels. It will not fit the 118 inch wheelbase vehicle. To fit the Sprinter with the dual rear wheels the width between the frame rails will need to measure 35-1/4 inches. On the 2006 Dodge Sprinter, the Draw-Tite hitch # 75210 will fit if you have the factory bumper that is molded to match the design of the vehicle. It will not fit your...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring And Brake Controller For A 2007 Freightliner M2
  • To install a trailer brake controller and 7-way connector on your 2007 Freightliner M2 you'll need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 along with additional 10AWG # 10-1-1 wire to run the length of your vehicle. Since you won't have a 4-way wiring harness you'll need to first install the Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM48110.

  • Weight Distribution System for Trailer With 8 Inch Frame
  • There is a solution for you to use a weight distribution system with your motor home. I recommend you use a system with chain hangers such as the Reese Strait-Line # RP66074, as height will not be an issue. Width still matters though, and the Strait-Line can only be used if your trailer's frame is a maximum of 2-1/2" wide. The Reese system is for total tongue weights between 700 lbs and 1,200 lbs, and in order to choose the most appropriately rated weight distribution hitch, you will...

  • How to Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 1999 Freightliner FL-Series
  • In order to add a 7-way trailer connector to your 1999 Freightliner FL-Series you are going to need to first hardwire a 4-way trailer connector like part # 18172 and then a 4 to 7-way trailer connector like part # 37185. In order to power the 7-way trailer connector you are going to need to use part # 12-1-1 (per foot) and part # PK54530. A circuit tester like part # PTW2993 will also come in handy if you do not already have one. If the trailer has brakes, then using part # 18172 for the...

  • How To Choose Correct SnapPads for Renegade Verona Coach
  • In order to choose the correct SnapPads for your motorhome you must measure and note their shape. If you know the brand of leveling system that would certainly help as well. Unfortunately, we cannot state exactly what SnapPads fit any one particular trailer as there are no records of this outside of maybe the manufacturer and even then it could be unclear. The SnapPad EQ Plus Jack Pads for Equalizer Leveling System part # SP64FR84 for example fits Equalizer Leveling Systems with 10" round...
